Latest according to Bev Stohl "Noam has not made significant progress, I’m sorry to say. I doubt he will be able to return to the public eye, as he is not communicating much if at all. At 95, his natural aging process is also a factor. His body is tired. I will continue to keep you posted as I learn more. Thank you all for caring. Bev"

Salvador Farrés Oliveras dead

Glen Holden Sr. (Wiki), United States Ambassador to Jamaica dead at 96

Cause of death - anti-freeze in the wine.

I've seen speculation that Sunak's recent insistance that planes will be taking off to Rwanda by 15th July means he'll wait until at least then to call the GE. I disagree. I'm still optimistic about the chances of a GE being called shortly after the LEs. The results of the LEs are going to be horrifying for the Tories. Penny Dreadful and Kemi Badenough and Honest Bob Jenprick and Suella Depraverman and Granty Twelvenames are all weighing up a leadership challenge after this, to which Sunak will bravely respond by calling a GE immediately. That would be timed so that the election is in early summer. 4th July, most probably. If the election is called this soon, he can still just go hell for leather on the "Vote Tory and planes will definitely definitely be going to Rwanda next week, I promise" line. It'll fail, but Dr Death cares not a fuck; he can piss clean off to Cali with Mrs Death and little junior Deaths and enjoy their billion quid in silicon valley. We won't see him again. If he threatens his MPs with an election purely in an effort to stop a leadership contest, tbh I still think at least Braverman would go ahead and challenge him. I've heard her recently on LBC; she actually sounded quite gleeful at the prospect of a heavy, heavy GE loss; she knows her seat is one of the safest, and she knows this would clear a path for her to grab the Tory leadership and mold what's left of the party to her tastes while they're in opposition. There are too many landmines for the Tories further down the road. Foreign leaders are already starting to ignore Sunak as they know he's a dead man walking, and that'll get worse and worse as the year goes on. They won't want to be about for the Hallet report, either. And if the Rwanda planes inevitably don't take off on 15th July and they still haven't called an election, that'll fuck goodbye the very last shred of credibility he has with that awful, heartless contigent who wants to see the scheme happen. Calling the election so it happens just before all this would frankly be damage limitation.

I was... 7 or 8 though that season, and I still remember my classes requiring me to watch the WS, and then my parents thinking it was bloody odd that teachers would tell us to watch a sporting event. They didn't get how obsessed the state was for it all, until game 4 fell on a Sunday and our pastor literally had us pray for the team during the service. Wasn't a quicker than normal service (shortest was 40 minutes one of the years the Pats were at a Superbowl), but I always found that odd. Sox won, so he claimed divine intervention the next week. I also remember the superintendent apparently being pissed that schools were cancelled the day after (not sure if that was a local choice or a whole state thing).

Actually died in September 2023 so strike the List of the Missed for this year. Wow, kept that quiet.

Going to be manning the company stand at an exhibition in Telford for the next two days. I will still have my phone but it would be bloody typical if the pent up backlog of deaths hits whilst I am otherwise engaged

Right, I'm going to slot this here just because there is so little information. Obituary for Jennifer Grainer-Ackerman (nee Dodd), sometime actress and backing singer for Cliff Richard: https://www.theportugalnews.com/news/2024-04-18/obituary-jennifer-marilyn-ackerman-grainer-november-1944-april-2024/88013 She married Ron Grainer, yes the Doctor Who theme guy, on whose Wiki she is currently referred to on her maiden name as "Dodds" which isn't right - maybe @Ulitzer95 is the guy to fix that. Picture of the couple on their wedding day here: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/australian-composer-ron-grainer-marries-actress-jennifer-news-photo/1299341532 I can find an uncredited role for a Jennifer Dodd in Lolita, I wonder if it is the same person. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1860334/

I'm guessing that's because he wasn't on the World Series roster. Even casual Red Sox fans remember the names of Dave Roberts and Doug Mientkiewicz because of their post-season heroics. However McCarty played in almost twice as many games as either of them that year. His contribution to the season as a whole shouldn't be dismissed.

So, as we already worked out you were secretly high up in government during those Brexit negotiations* so with that in mind. Telford is a UK constituency and so... we need to await news if you've forced Rishi Sunak to have an election soon after the locals? Got it. Good luck. *For any newcomers, Biblio's work trips had a habit of corresponding to Brexit negotiation trips abroad in 2017-ish.

On the May 2024 cover of Vogue France. There are a few more photos here.

I would have imagined a Black Sabbath bench as being placed under an inverted cross, with a plaque warning that anyone who sat on it would die within the year, or something like that.

Seems to have mental health issues. Having been down that road myself with a disturbed partner, I'd ask him to disappear into the outback as far away from me as possible.

All I want is for the country to be run by honest, competent grown-ups who put the country's and the people's interests before their own. Yes I know it's too much to ask now.

The year is 2040. AI Trump rules half the world, Clorox is running the msc memorial Deadpool, and James Whale is still saying he's only got one more Christmas this time.

Anthony Williams, prominent campaigner and victim of the Windrush scandal, reportedly dead: https://www.gofundme.com/f/bm3vvs-anthony-williams?attribution_id=sl:e7434f48-018b-4506-9e18-d3c6045bc6a7 A former soldier who served this country, he was left destitute, eating sardines from a can and keeping warm by visiting his local library. He had to pull his own teeth after being barred from NHS treatment. He returned to Jamaica where he died on 29 March. Despicable legacy of this Government.

As I suspected, Guardian obit.
